For We Are Many

When seeing this film at horror fest, I absolutely loved it, not all segments were as good as the others, but that being said, knowing it was directors from all over the world working from small budgets, the efforts were unreal! So sit back and enjoy like I did and I hope to see further shorts or even features from some of them.

Being a collection of works from many varied filmmakers gives us a film with many varied styles; most work for me, few do not... short stories often feel like someone just clipped the climax of a feature length film and showed me just that part, which feels unfulfilling... there are some, more than half of these, that I would love to see fleshed out into a full length film... some of the chapters go by very quick too; like the demon boys eating the homeless guy, I don't even think it was 2 or 3 minutes... many have gore and blood, few have jump scares, a couple are outright unnerving; there's a ghostly moan in one (no spoilers) that I could have gone all my life without hearing, but it's in my nightmares now... These would be just a taste of what the filmmakers can do, and it is worth watching...

The scariest thing about this anthology is that anyone would think it worth presenting to fans of horror. So what's so bad about it? I'm glad you asked. The writing is bad,, the effects are bad, the acting is bad, the direction is bad. All of it is bad, bad, bad. Not a single decent segment in the whole film and I persevered until the bitter end thinking there must surely be something worthwhile. There isn't. Seriously you could go on Youtube right now and find real quality horror, a thousand times superior to this rubbish.

A very varied and eclectic mix of Indie horror shorts. Some hit the mark better than others but that is the beauty of the film, its like a box of weird chocolates, you never know what your going to get next.

I've seen much better on YouTube (Crypt TV, Alter, etc...). For me, this anthology just didn't cut it. Some of the FX were pretty good, but story and a lot of the acting were bad. I realize these stories are from (supposed) up and comers, but still, it's not worth watching.

Anthologies as normally a hit or a miss with me. Sometimes the stories are a mixed bag of good and bad, and in For We Are Many, there's not really a bad one in the bunch. I guess it all depends on your taste, and what you're looking for in an anthology. I really enjoyed it. I'm a sucker for practical effects in movies and this is filled with them. It's an eight out of ten from me.

While not every short film included in this anthology blew me away, I was consistently impressed by the creative premises. If you're a fan of horror, this is worth your time.
